Mnemic - Within NEW SONG

[yeahman90210]

big chocolate said this is heavy, ha yea right 

[peanutbuttercrunc100]

has a nu-metal quality to it, reminds me of Korn mixed with Meshuggah oddly enough. and no im not saying thats a bad thing at all, in fact this is one of my favorite Mnemic songs.

[adino20]

i love it when the bass is loud in metal but mostly math metal with their use of 8 strings that drown out the bass

[nephilymbass1]

@adino20 actually the difference with mnemic is the bass is tuned super low. Beast tunes as low as F# and plays an octave below the guitars where Dick from Meshuggah tunes to drop Bb (so other than the lowest string his bass is tuned up not down) and he hardly ever touches his lowest string. IN meshuggah Dick plays the exact same octave as the guitars. You can actually tune a standard 4 sting bass up a half step(F, A#, D#, G# and pretty much play all the Meshuggah 8 string riffs.

[TheChrispablo]

@nephilymbass1 nope, dick tune it down, till it hurts ;)

[nephilymbass1]

@TheChrispablo buy the Meshuggah Alive DVD the bass tech tells you the tunings. On the 8 string meshuggah albums the bass is tuned to drop Bb so what would normally be the E string is up a half step to F to match the guitars.

[TheChrispablo]

@nephilymbass1 good to know bro :)

[Jeudaos]

@IntegralxBirth3 what tuning does the bassist play in? i recently got a rogue series 2, 5 string bass. and Obeast plays at a very low tuning.

[MachinaeSupremacist]

@Jeudaos They started out in B, but Sons Of The System and Passenger are F# (2.5 steps down, 5-string bass/7-string guitars).

Yeah, it's low. There's a video of Tue Madsen (their producer) talking about all the equipment Obeast needed to make his bass tone still sound good at that tuning. It's kind of scary.

[somos999]

@MachinaeSupremacist

do you happen to know the guitar tuning for this song? the guitarists in my band just got 7 strings and i wanna start writing something in this tuning!

your help is much appreciated

[MachinaeSupremacist]

@somos999 Since this is on Sons Of The System, that's F#/2.5 steps down. But make sure your amps (especially the bass amp) sound good that low. Not every amp is made for downtuning that far, and I found that out the hard way.

[RyanBurke93]

if you love the low sounding riffs and the melodic synths then check out the band the defiled.i have their new debut album on my profile.they are fucking sick.check em out you wont be disappointed

[Zcyteck]

"No matter the pain" ... It only annoys me... ALOT... that the sound they use doesn't continue with a chorus or something just after the "...pain", but just ends there. Sounds epic!

[DigitalStatiX]

First 30 seconds was enough to make me just blast my ass 6 buckets worth of Holy Shit.

[TheJake3]

@DigitalStatiX HHHHaaa Haaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Best comment ever!

[swishsplash]

this must be tuned down all way to the E

[santosony1]

@swishsplash Im pretty sure its Drop B though

[TheSonOfTheSystem]

This is just awsome!! Mnemic rules!

[arkandbke]

These guys are better than Fear Factory.

[SinandGrin]

PLEASE HELP! I Love this song and band, and at aprox 3:33 into the song there is that breakdown and the electronic programming kicks in; simply great! I must find more music that shares that heavy modern metal feel with similar sounding industrial electronic programming

[herculov]

@SinandGrin Check out these bands: Sybreed, Synthetic Breed, Interbeing, and Fear Factory.

[SinandGrin]

@herculov Synthetic Breed is a great recommendation. I have only listened to Catatonic mostly, but Perpetual Motion Machine sounds great as well! Thanks for that band.

[Jeudaos]

@herculov Fear Factory is probably your best starting point for music similar to this. They released Mechanize just over a year ago. AMAZING album.

[Richinator2000]

@SinandGrin

try pitchshifter, too they're not as heavy, but they rock as well

[Richinator2000]

@SinandGrin

try pitchshifter, too... they're not as heavy, but they rock as well

[SinandGrin]

@Richinator2000 I Love pitchshifter but I find them a little more mellow

[SinandGrin]

@Richinator2000 I used to listen to a lot of Pitchshifter back in the day, but mostly I would throw it on in the background for some ambient chill music. Desensitized was great for that!

[Allister008]

@SinandGrin sinandgrin listens to all the same people i do... but a few more is sonic syndicate, poisonblack, eluveitie, entwine, katatonia, nightfall, sentenced, shadows fall, soil, soilwork, and threat signal... sorry i dont got more but i'm still looking for new stuff every day as well. hope ya enjoy. long live metal!!

[SinandGrin]

@Allister008 Threat Signal, Soilwork, Soil, Shadows Fall, Sentenced are all great and I have them all. Others to looks at that i really like are, Mutiny Within, Thy Will Be Done, Bury Your Dead, Arkaea, Bleed the Sky, The Black Dahlia Murder, Byzantine!

[TheJake3]

@SinandGrin Ever heard of Fear Factory?

[SinandGrin]

@TheJake3 yes of course I have! Great band despite all their recent ups and downs with band members

[TheJake3]

@SinandGrin True. But FF's most recent album really kicked ass because the band's line up was reconstructed with the best musicians for the job. You should check out Fear Factory's latest album, "Mechanize".

[MachinaeSupremacist]

@SinandGrin Well then, you'll love Periphery. They only have one album out so far, check it out.

[SinandGrin]

@MachinaeSupremacist I like the music a lot of Periphery, it has a great modern groove feeling to it, but I find the vocals lack the depth and Intensity that I love in some other bands like Mnemic, Bury your Dead, and Throwdown. If you really like that groove sound they have and don't mind some instrumental work, you must check out Keith Merrow. He's a studio musician and has some great work. You can even download and listen to his whole first album for free!

[MachinaeSupremacist]

@SinandGrin Already know about Keith Merrow, already have Lonestar Transcend. It's awesome.

"Intense" vocals are a problem in djent, since part of the blueprint that Meshuggah set is to sound soulless and mechanical, but have you heard of Threat Signal? (Probably, but it's worth a shot.)

[BehindTheLight99]

@SinandGrin listen to the album "Demanufacture" by Fear Factory. Best album ever made.

[SinandGrin]

@BehindTheLight99 Agreed!

[TadpolesRule]

@SinandGrin We Butter the Bread With Butter uses electronic sounds, but thier vocals are some of the heaviest vocals you can find. For an introduction to the band check out the song Sabine die Zeitmaschine. They are German, but you can't even tell.

[syntheticskull]

@SinandGrin If youre still looking you might like the band "Technophobia" or "Deadstar Assembly".

[SinandGrin]

@syntheticskull Thanks for the reqs, I actually liked the sound of Deadstar Assembly quite a bit. I'll have to look into them a bit more.

[syntheticskull]

@SinandGrin No problem! Glad to be able to share good music :)

[OTTBlindfish]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit O.O

[Jeudaos]

insanely low sounding tuning. amazing catching hook chorus that still fits the hardcore melody of the song. I agree with all of you guys. I gotta get this album. you can sure hear the fear factory esk style with these dude. does anybody know if these guys were influenced by FF or not?

[herculov]

@Jeudaos If I recall right from an interview their main influences are Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Sepultura, and Slayer....

[Jeudaos]

@herculov thank you, you can definitely hear those influences.

[JesusStrikesBack1994]

@herculov Fear Factory....well said.

[cryingindian]

@Jeudaos I got the album from just hearing deisel uterus alone. Get it. the rest of the album just owns

[Jambi18]

Wow, this sounds like a really low tuning

[thecouchonfire]

fucking dope

[sebbimon]

The "style" is more like the old mnemic, but the sound is still shit and i hate Guillaume. Nobody can replace Mike. Sorry to say it, but its true.

[murdredkalipso]

the chorus is fuckin awesome and catchy as hell......plus the sampling fits the sound perfectly. Brilliant guitar riffing as well

[LittleFiend666]

Huuuuuuuuuge upgrade from their last cd =D

[hideki12345]

the production of this album is OMGHUGE!!

[saiko911]

best song on the album, I love the electronic samples in the other half.

not sure about the rest of the album though...

[FleshStarvingBass]

Mnemic old times are here again... good. But do we need it ? Do we really need it ?

YES WE FUCKING DO !

[claytonjester]

wow...........................­............. can anyone say pure fucking masterpiece, like minirambo said, I MUST GET THIS FUCKING ALBUM. gotts show these fucking weak ass lady gaga fucks what the real shit is.

[Minirambo123456789]

This Shit is so awesome, i must buy the album!!
